The guy has a literal wheelbarrow full of parts in his garage. It'll be interesting regardless. hahaha

And I plan to have the car up on jack stands the week before while I blast the demon bolts with every chemical possible. haha.

The only thing I am unsure of, is if the intakes need anything other than filters. I'll talk with him and double check that. "

exhaust - at Madwi's (Hardware being shipped direct to him)
intake - at Madwi's (Need to check hardware)
HFC's - at madwi's (In box with all hardware)
Side blades - at madwi's (self tap screws and tape)
Diffuser - will bring with me (glue and tape)
gt-r button - will bring with me (may get put on out of boredom)
fairlady badge - same as gt-r button
AEM filters - will be sent direct to madwi

I Think that's everything?
Only thing I'd check on is whether or not your kit has the breather hoses for your intakes. I believe you can make the stock ones fit, but it's potentially a little more work.

I plan to get started early Sat morning.

Me and you: hfc's first, exhaust, intakes. In that order.

Madwi: Diffuser, side blades, randoms tuff

girlfriend: Madwi helps her with the clutch pedal and let her do vinyl wrappings for the b-pillars.

I'll confirm with him if anything else is needed and order stuff. I'd rather order the stuff and be safe instead of being screwed the morning of.

JARblue 03-19-2018 12:24 PM
Damn EW getting the $hit end of that deal :icon17:

Brother, no joke, im literally thinking as soon as you arrive, wash the car, get the car up on jackstands, pull the front bumper, pull the drivers seat, pull the intakes, and we could probably start on the HFCs that night, I could also start working on your rear fog light. We could easily get all of this done in a matter of a couple hours on that Friday night.

The issue being how I will be functioning after a 10-11 hour drive straight. I mean, I can drop the car off and we get started on it asap. But idk how long I will be able to coherently follow directions. lol.

My plan is to leave wicked early Friday morning. 6-7am. Get into Michigan at around 6pm at the latest. Probably stretch and grab dinner with you guys somewhere.

JARblue 03-19-2018 12:34 PM
I recommend hitting the cat bolts with some PB Blaster as soon as you arrive. And keep hitting it every couple hours throughout the day. It's your best weapon against the demon bolt along with proper extensions/swivels and breaker bar.

honestly no worries bro, if you can help, you can help, if not, its ok too.. i think your adrenaline will kick in, and you'll fully be into it..

eastwest2300 03-19-2018 12:35 PM
I just dont wanna run outta time, and have to rush anything.. mr. madwi and I will be good to go.

You're most likely right. Adrenaline and excitement will kick in for sure. When it wears off though, watch out. I think we will have plenty of time for everything. No rush at all. I already plan on taking the Monday off as well when returning Sunday. It's a lot of driving in a single weekend. Factor in the work and i'll be dead for sure.

No worries jar. Already bought a bottle to hit the bolts with a week leading up to the drive. Figured I'd hit them before and after work each day.

Leingod 03-19-2018 12:41 PM
My only concern is tires. They're going to need to be replaced this year. The have tread... but not much left in the rears. Do I swap tires before or after the trip. Memory is foggy as to how low the tread is. I just remember breaking the rear end loose last season when the temps started to drop into the 40's.

Even better :tup:

Leingod 03-19-2018 12:43 PM
Also going to fully wash and seal the car leading up to the trip to make our life easier to quick wash it upon arrival. Not that it isn't properly washed and sealed as is right now.

Tires it is. The OEM Yoko's have served me well the past 3 years. lol. Nitto Invo's, here I come!

Now to figure out widest sizes I can go on stock 18's...

Leingod 03-19-2018 01:05 PM
Invo's are on abck order... PSS's on sale for $889 shipped...

Staggered as well. 245/45 front and 275/40 rear....

man, if you can make the trip out here on what you got, I'd say do it.. but if you think if you ran into rain on the way out, you'd be in trouble, buy them now.:tup:

I think they'd survive. They're not bald. But the grooves on the inner side are def at a 3 or 4. The fronts look deep still. Then again, this is all just going off of memory. I may just buy those PSS's and call it a day.

I don't see anything that we are doing to be overly complicated. The RJM clutch will take the longest. We can even just snap the demon bolts off since Madwi has spares on hand. Intakes are easy. Exhaust is relatively easy. Side blades are just a matter of how OCD Madwi feels. Same with the diffuser. This is more about having a fun weekend trip and finally meeting some damn forum members.

I'll let my girlfriend do the sound stuff and vinyl wrapping. Her art degree should entertain that part of the day.
